Algebra+red+group

=RED GROUP= Here are the activities for you to have a go at. Remember to record your results and findings in your Maths book or on the worksheet provided. Feel free to add to the discussion page also.

In this activity you are building bridges and have to work out how many pieces of steel you need for your bridge. Here is the worksheet to use when doing these activities. Make sure you fill in the table as you go. Can find the next number in the pattern Can fill in a table of values for a given pattern ||
 * __ACTIVITY ONE__**
 * **VELS level** || **Learning intention** ||
 * 3.25 & 3.75 || Can recognize the pattern formed



This activity has three different levels. Please choose the easy level for you to attempt. You have to drag and drop the correct answer into the appropriate space. It is on a timer, but you can have another go if you run out of time. After you have completed the whole task, (or selected the 'Solve' button) you will need to try and work out the rule for each pattern. You should start by writing the rule in words and then see if you can write it in symbols or algebra.
 * __ACTIVITY TWO__**


 * **VELS level** || **Learning intention** ||
 * 3.75 || Can find the next number in the pattern ||



In this activity you need to find out the missing value for each of the places in the table. To do this you need to work out a particular attribute (thing) about the shape, for example perimeter or area, or number of triangles and add your answer to the table. You then get to graph the values and see if you can work out the rule for the graph. This last part is quite difficult but give it a go! Maybe try to predict some other pairs of numbers to add to your table and then enter and graph them to check! to any of your learning in your book or on the discussion page. Click on Activities on the top menu and you can click on the left and right arrows (on the right hand side) to move to the next activity. Don't forget to read the instructions!!
 * __ACTIVITY THREE__**

Can construct graphs from a given pattern ||
 * **VELS level** || **Learning intention** ||
 * 3.75 || Can find the next number in the pattern

In this activity you can select shapes and record the perimeters (very similar to the activity above). Try to work out the rules for the pattern. Don't forget to record your work - either by drawing the shapes and recording their perimeters or by putting the information into a table. (You may need to click on the right arrow to get to the correct screen).
 * __ACTIVITY FOUR__**

Can find the next number in the pattern Can fill in a table of values for a given pattern ||
 * **VELS level** || **Learning intention** ||
 * 3.25 & 3.75 || Can recognize the pattern formed



For this activity you just have to follow the pattern. Select the correct shape and the correct colour for the next few beads. Have fun but do not spend too much time on this one as it is TOO EASY!!!
 * __ACTIVITY FIVE__**

Can find the next color in the pattern ||
 * **VELS level** || **Learning intention** ||
 * 3.25 || Can recognize the pattern formed
